In addition to these standard ranges, a number of similar types are available to special order and in most cases, a minimum order quantity will apply. These include non-standard voltage ranges of some types e.g. 100V, 100/115V, 120V and also a number of types which have the GE “HX” or “THE” prefix.

The increase in the use of the lamps we now manufacture is due to the GE policy of exploiting the important advantages of compact size offered by quartz halogen construction.

Average life ratings of Projection Lamps are based on closely controlled laboratory tests of lamps, at their rated voltage, over a long period of production time. Rated Average Life is not necessarily the same as service life; mechanical shock and vibration, voltage fluctuation, temperature and other environmental factors may result in shorter service life.

As the spectral distribution of MARC lamps does not conform to that of a “blackbody”, the values shown are ‘correlated’ colour temperatures expressed in Kelvin.

This catalogue contains accumulated data to January 2000. Additional information is constantly being uncovered through research and testing, which may modify the data given herein. This is particularly true of newer lamps. For the latest lamp design data and information, contact your General Electric Lamp Representative.
Caution notices are included with all lamps. Users are urged to read and comply with these. Operating precautions All lamps in this catalogue must be operated with a series fuse in the circuit, as directed in the Technical Digest. Lamps of quartz construction use a gas filling at a pressure higher than atmospheric and as the lamp can in rare instances shatter in use, suitable shielding techniques should be employed where appropriate.

Life expired lamps should be broken in a suitable robust container, or wrapping, to retain flying fragments. There is a toxic content in the fill gas and larger quantities should only be broken in a well ventilated area.
Page 92
10 Certain lamps generate ozone in use and should be operated only in well ventilated locations. 11 Metal halide lamps with quartz envelopes without glass outer bulbs may emit short wave ultra violet radiation which is harmful to eyes and skin.
Page 93
Filament designation The configuration of the filaments in all tungsten filament lamps is identified by a prefix letter or letters, followed by a number. The letter indicates whether the wire is a single coil (C) or coiled coil (CC); the number indicates the form or arrangement of the coil on its support structure. Note that the illustrations are not to scale.
Page 94
Lamp caps Typical caps used on the Photographic lamps listed in this catalogue are shown below along with their IEC codes and normal names or common abbreviations. The IEC codes are used in the majority of table entries. Note that the illustrations are not to scale.
Page 95
GE have therefore designed lamps intended for use in ellipsoidal spotlights where the size of the cap has been reduced and the neck length correspondingly increased, thus removing the critical seal area from the reflected radiation and ensuring that optimum lamp life is obtained.
Page 96
GE Lighting Ltd or your nearest Subsidiary Company. It is important to distinguish between hard glass lamps that merely have a halogen compound added to the filling gas and lamps such as those enumerated, which are of quartz construction. The former are from the point of view of life and performance identical to conventional glass lamps of the same rating, the halogen only serving to prolong the usefulness of the lamp by preventing internal blackening due to evaporated tungsten.
Page 97
The choice between a monoplane and a smaller equivalent biplane is, therefore, dependent on luminaire design and customer preference. GE pursue a policy of allowing the customers to make this choice by offering both monoplane and biplane versions of relevant lamp types.

Arc Prevention in Tungsten Halogen Studio Lamp Applications Almost all production personnel in the film and television industry have at some time encountered sudden failure of incandescent studio lamps. When this occurs at a crucial moment and forces a re-shoot the cost can be considerable.
Page 99
The rated performances claimed in this catalogue have been achieved at nominal rated volts. Operating the lamps at other than the rated voltage will significantly affect performance, as shown graphically on pages 100 and 101. All lamps are designed for use with proprietary dimming equipment as required.

(a) switch on does not always occur at the peak of the AC voltage, (b) the supply has some impedance which is comparable with the cold resistance of high wattage lamps, i.e. maximum possible surge current where V is the applied voltage and Z is the sum of the lamp cold resistance and the supply impedance.
Page 107
Fusing of Tungsten Halogen Studio and Theatre Lamps A lamp normally fails at end of life by fusing of the filament. Often an arc then forms and as there is little resistance to limit the current this rises to a very high value which if maintained can result in a serious overload on the envelope and seals.
Page 108
The potential for major cost savings is clear. GE Lighting has led the way in adapting discharge lamps for use in the performing arts. The company was the first and for many years the only manufacturer to offer metal halide lamps in the compact, single ended capsule format.
Page 109
For all personnel the working environment is much more comfortable. Of course, the running costs are correspondingly lower too. In the theatre CID discharge lamps are particularly useful in follow spotlights. The very high light output from a point source creates a very intense, sharp beam.

Cap/bulb interface capsule lamps - 450° maximum Above this figure the sealing foil oxidises at a rate increasing with temperature and is frequently the cause of short life due to seal failure.
Page 112
N.B. For sealed beam lamps - to ensure that the above conditions are met, it is important that the lamp does not operate above 400°C even in an enclosed fitting.
